Its already been explained to you that there is a difference between calculating events with math and modeling them on a computer.

Computers apparently have stopped doing calculations in 2007.

Care to explain how you got that from what I said?

When the attempt was made to explain the concept of "the map is not the territory", and simulations are more complex than simple math, Swing Dangler replied:

This probably isn't eligible, as it's a response to a blog post about the Penn & Teller BS episode on immigration, but I'm quoting it anyway:

The link was ****ed by the autocensor. You'll have to replace the **** with the well-known title of their show to get the link to work.

You're not very good at this, are you ?

[Alareth]

Do you have any empirical evidence showing there were no explosives used?

Short, concise, pure Stundie.

Double post.

I like how Swing is just posting here to save us time.

Swing, I do believe the lack of a link back to the original post makes your nomination ineligible.

You gotta be talking to ol' swingy, hisself.
Being a twoofer means you have trouble with differentiating reality from computers, and instructions are written by "da man!"

Commenter Tony explains to us lousy skeptics the power of having a small thermite bonfire underneath a 15' steel sign:

john created at burningman a wonderful work of art that not only was visually beautiful and inspiring, but in no uncertain terms asked the viewer to question for himself how steel could collapse neatly, perfectly, from asymmetric fires burning only hydrocarbons.

You can easily provide the information displaying the scientific tests for chemical signatures from explosives, correct?

I didn't think so.

Your going to have to do better than that.

This of course was a nice job of lying for a Stundie nomination which explains the lack of a link back to the original source.

Alareth was pointing out that you just asked him/her to prove that there are no invisible pink unicorns living in your garage...I willtype it very slowly:
You can show that residue does or does not exist. Existance would be evidence that explosives were used. The fact that no residues were found is a strong indicator the other way.

[whispers to swing] Explosives leave definite marks on steel when they cut, none were found.

 

[maccy]

We should probably ignore any more posts from Swing trying to argue about this - or take it to another thread.

Yeah, this has nothing to do with anything, but thanks for trying, twoofer.
